Only went to Nice in 2008 but we have decided to return. Firstly its easy to get to from Ireland, the Airport is near the City. Also good transport links, even better food and hopefully good early Autumn weather. Last time Missed out on a trip aboard the Nice-Digne railway, we ran out of time. This is a privatly owned narrow gauge mountain railway sometimes known as the 'train des Pignes' which roughly translates to the train of of Pine Cones. Probably quite a bumpy ride and the coaches are quite old but the scenery and fresh air should be worth it. Not sure if there are any catering facilities on the train so we will stock up before we go with fresh french bread and fresh food and have a picnic. Probably Mum will bring a little bottle of white wine. We had a similar trip last time on the 'Train de Mervilles which went on a different route to Tende and the photo here is from that trip.
Going to stay in the same hotel as before. Its was in need of a bit of painting last time, but the food was a bonus and it s very near the train station and the new tram. Also right beside the main restaurant area and there is a load of small shops nearby for Mum to rummage around.
